More and more of Beautiful Hamburg

Megan came to visit Hamburg this weekend so we went and had some fun all around town..






















We hired a boat to go out on the Alster lake.















Then some drinks on the lake.






Then it was off to the Hamburger Dom. A fun fair to celebrate the arrival of Spring. Yay!



Yum cherry beer...





Yum, a big stick covered in pork!





Almost like Splash Mountain...






On the way in to the Psychedelic Fun House.



Groovy!




B riding the Big Monster, AKA The Octopus Ride






Megs and me on the Big Monster.



Weeeee! (they even had a man over the loud speaker saying "Weeeee!")



The next morning we were up early to visit the Fischmarkt.





We had a fine buffet breakfast with Matjes (herring)



And smoked salmon



And a live cover band and dancing!



Then a ferry ride!



Chillin', I mean chilly...


















A walk around HafenCity. They are building all new buildings and apartments on the harbour which they say when it's completed in 2020 will double Hamburgs population!



All the buildings are very modern.









Then some more time spent around my favourite place in Hamburg, the lake!












Fitting in with the natives, eating icecreams!



































Dinner at a tradition German restaurant, bring on the fried potatoes!





Enjoying Apfel Strudel...
